Chapter 940: Battle for 1st Ring

“Impossible!”

The Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord twisted his wrist. The bright sword light twisted together and wanted to break open Li Fuchen’s sword qi protection.

“Rather capable. But it is a pity that all the effort will be in vain.”

Li Fuchen waved his hand and a radiant sword light swept out. The Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord was sent flying.

“Too powerful.”

The Primordial Sword Saint Lord, Extreme Star Sword Saint Lord, Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord, and the others were all frightened. In the entire Sword Star City, apart from the sword dao heaven lords, only the heaven-defying sword dao saint lords in the 1st ring could defeat the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord in a single move.

Li Fuchen started to walk towards the 1st ring after he sent the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord flying.

“Interesting!” 

Inside the 1st ring of the Sword Pool, there were only five individuals.

No one dared to enter the 1st ring, where the five sat. The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord, Extreme Star Sword Saint Lord and the Primordial Sword Saint Lord did try to enter, but after getting repelled by a casual sword qi from one of the five, they immediately gave up.

The five individuals in the 1st ring were a white-clothed man, an iron-armored man, a multicolor-dressed lady, a bald man with feelers on the head, and a three-eyed man.

The one who spoke earlier was the multicolor-dressed lady.

“I wonder which of us will he challenge?” The three-eyed man’s eyes flashed with a sharp and intimidating intent.

The three-eyed race was one of the races in the universe with the highest martial dao perception. They were only inferior to the human race and god race. As an unprecedented sword dao prodigy of the three-eyed race, the three-eyed man didn’t fear anyone. 

Li Fuchen didn’t have any intention to pick. He simply walked towards the nearest mat.

The owner of this mat was the bald young man with feelers on his head.

“Picking me?” The bald young man had a cold expression.

Most of the people felt that he could possibly be the weakest because he was of the feeler lamp race.

After all, there was a very small number of martial dao experts from the feeler lamp race.

However, he was going to let Li Fuchen understand what was the meaning of regret.

“Lamp Fire Splendor!”

The bald young man’s sword move was very poetic. With a shake of his wrist, countless bundles of sword light enveloped Li Fuchen like lamp lights.

“Such a terrifying sword intent.”

In the 2nd ring of the Sword Pool, the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord and the others were frightened.

They believed that they would definitely be severely injured by this sword move.

The bald man immediately executed his signature move. The three-eyed man got a shock in his heart. He had crossed moves with the bald man and knew clearly of this move’s terror.

“Splendor sword dao?” Li Fuchen smiled and pointed towards the void.

Pfff!

The lamp fires were slowly put out one by one.

If the bald man’s sword move was like lamp fires, then Li Fuchen’s fingertip was like a miniature sun.

In the face of a sun, the lamp fires were like candle flames that were extinguished with a simple gust of wind.

“What? Splendor sword dao?” The bald man was appalled.

Li Fuchen actually used splendor sword dao to neutralize his splendor sword dao. How could he not be shocked?

“Dazzling Splendor!”

The bald man burst out with a yell and thousands of lamp fires reappeared. They were revolving around the bald man’s sword. The thousands of lamp fires then merged into one and turned into a dazzling pillar of light which was blasted at Li Fuchen.

He didn’t believe that Li Fuchen could neutralize this move so easily.

“He connected with around 200 streaks of source power.” Li Fuchen nodded silently.

Normally speaking, being able to connect with 100 streaks of source power would mean that was a chance to progress into a heaven lord. After connecting with over 200 streaks of source power, it would give the ability to contest with weaker heaven lords, but it could only be a short exchange.

“It is a pity that it is still lacking a little.”

Li Fuchen’s sword finger moved fast as lightning and pierced through the dazzling pillar of light.

Pfff!

Countless tiny pillars of lights appeared and the dazzling pillar of light was immediately scattered.

There was a strong force that sent the bald man flying out and gave up the mat.

“Defeated?”

Apart from the white-clothed man, the three others were astonished as they didn’t expect for the bald man to be defeated so quickly.

This Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord was much stronger than their expectations.

“Still not giving up?”

A familiar sword dao qi presence was emitted. Li Fuchen looked towards the direction where the bald man had flown towards.

“Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, you are forcing me.”

The bald man changed to another sword and it was exactly the same as Li Fuchen’s Joint-Heaven Sword. It was obviously a Joint-Heaven Sword too, but the grade was unknown.

“Joint-Heaven Sword?” The iron-armored man’s eyes let out a radiance.

The true Joint-Heaven Sword was a sword that transcended extreme-grade supreme rate artifact swords. It was unknown why the owner of the Joint-Heaven Sword had forged 3 more extreme-grade Joint-Heaven Swords, 12 high-grade Joint-Heaven Swords, 108 mid-grade Joint-Heaven Swords, and 3600 low-grade Joint-Heaven Swords. Normally, the higher the grade of the Joint-Heaven Sword would also mean a higher potential in the individual.

Clang!

The Joint-Heaven Sword was drawn and an absolute sword qi burst out. Within 10 miles, it was extremely cold.

“So it is a mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword.” The iron-armored man’s eyes turned dim.

It was only a mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword and not worth mentioning.

“This world is truly small.”

Li Fuchen had already found out from the Joint-Heaven Sword Spirit that his Joint-Heaven Sword wasn’t the only one in the universe. There were many other Joint-Heaven Swords.

“Lamp Fire Splendor.”

While wielding the Joint-Heaven Sword, the bald man’s body was surrounded with an inexhaustible sword qi. The sword prowess was overwhelming as he attacked Li Fuchen.

“Just in time.” 

Li Fuchen laughed loudly. While wielding the mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword, the bald man was now qualified for Li Fuchen to be a little serious.

Glaring radiance was released and Li Fuchen turned into a human-shaped sun. Overwhelming radiance was released from his body.

At the same time, he was also wielding a sword.

But it wasn’t the Joint-Heaven Sword, it was the extreme-grade top rate shamanic sword.

The bald man’s strength wasn’t enough for Li Fuchen to reveal the Joint-Heaven Sword.

This was the Sword Star City and a gathering place of sword dao heaven lords. Who knew if anyone would target his high-grade Joint-Heaven Sword.

With the shamanic sword, Li Fuchen blasted his sword move, Limitless Radiance at the bald man.

Boom!

As the splendor sword daos clashed at full power, it created a terrifying commotion.

Inside the Sword Pool, it looked as though two suns had collided. The burst of radiance was enough to vaporize anyone below sword dao saint lords. Due to the glaring radiance, only a few individuals were still able to sense their surroundings vaguely. The rest were completely blinded and they couldn’t sense anything either. The only thing they could sense was the limitless splendor sword intent.

Above the Sword Pool, the bald man and Li Fuchen clashed together. It felt as though time had stopped.

“Get lost!” The bald man yelled out as infinite splendor sword energy surged into the Joint-Heaven Sword. Astonishing sword dao energy started to pressure Li Fuchen.

“The mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword is incredible.” Li Fuchen praised silently.

Li Fuchen had already executed the splendor sword dao to its full strength, but the mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword was resisting and it wasn’t possible for Li Fuchen to suppress his opponent.

“This child is about to lose.”

“It is normal to be defeated by a mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword.”

“If the Sword Pool forbid the use of supreme rate artifact swords, he wouldn’t be the one losing.”

“A sword is also a part of one’s strength. How can it be forbidden?”

On the Sword Tower, the two sword dao heaven lords conversed.

Under the pressure from the mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword, Li Fuchen ultimately couldn’t hold out.

Just as the bald man thought he had grasped victory, Li Fuchen’s sword dao qi presence suddenly changed.

It turned from splendor into primal. At the same moment, vast sword dao energy formed a wave and blasted at the bald man.

Pfff!

Fresh blood was spat out as the bald man was sent flying without any resistance.

“Incredible, his second sword dao is actually stronger. Snow Tiger Heaven Lord, how many streaks of source power do you think he has connected?”

“Probably no less than 400 streaks.” The Snow Tiger Heaven Lord was rather stunned.

With 100 connected source power, when a saint lord progressed into a heaven lord, they wouldn’t be considered weak heaven lords.

With 200 streaks of source power connected, after progressing into a heaven lord, one would be considered a mid-level regular heaven lord.

With 300 streaks of source power connected, one would be considered formidable among regular heaven lords.

As for 400 streaks of source power connected, one would be high-level regular heaven lords.

As for 500 or 600 streaks of source power. No swordsmen in the Twin Horn Galaxy had achieved it. 400 streaks of source power was already rare in the history of the Twin Horn Galaxy.

“This child is really an unprecedented sword dao prodigy of the Twin Horn Galaxy. Once he becomes a heaven lord, our Swordsmen Guild will have another powerful warrior.”

A high-level regular heaven lord would be high-level in any place. After all, how many city lord-level heaven lords or star domain-level heaven lords could there be in the galaxy.
